Summer almost gone?

It seems like the hottest days of summer were just beginning, and now it seems that summer is beginning to slowly fade away. Where did it all go? That is what you get in the Midwest I suppose. Meh.

What is up?

The air is cooler tonight. But it is still shorts weather.

I am happy to say that when I was practicing the guitar earlier, I was able to do so without the return of the neuropathy that has been plaguing me for some time. I still have it to some degree, but last week and this week, I have begun to feel an improvement.

To make a small story short, I am playing the guitar again, albeit for short periods of time. 30 minutes max. I am slowly rebuilding myself. Id like to do a short recording project coming up. Just record a couple of covers with a group and also record some tracks to take home and remix into some ambient stuff.

In the meantime I have begun to map some other projects.

I am in the process of starting up an improv troupe. Currently just finding people to be in it. So far three brave souls have responded to my posts. It will hopefully become a team that is into doing a Harold. I enjoy that very much and I think it would be a lot of fun. The most important premise of the team is that all of the members are cancer survivors. ..

I am also in the process of finding some Audio Engineers in the area who can assist with remixing and editing some of the Five Thousand People tracks that were recorded in Colorado a few years ago. There is some polishing to be done, and some transfers from one software to another, then some sweetening and mastering to be done, and then when it is all finished, there should be a CD worth of material to release. I am very excited about this and I know that the rest of the crew is too.

While these things are going on, I plan to continue practicing the guitar and redeveloping my abilities. The third creative project of the bunch will be some new solo music of my own, but I see that happening as the third thing on the list here.

Of course there are a couple of other ideas waiting in the wings as well..




Why am I telling you all this? Well I just wanted you to know that I am slowly getting creative again. Well thats not true really, I have had plans percolating all along, but now some of these ideas are beginning to rise to the surface.




For now, have a great August..
